Thoughts on changes: fairly minor, but makes the actual solution a little easier to stumble upon. Realizing you need to convert your mana potion is the tricky bit.

The killer part for me was realizing I needed to use the Minotaur's knockback to break into the Serpent's chamber. I had been trying to save enough mana for two charges of WEYTWUT.

WRT Tikki 3, by the way: that's actually been adjusted so that your solution is the intended one. Or at least, I've trimmed off most of the extra stuff that isn't related to it. Still trying to think if there's a more elegant way to deal with that, but eh ... it seems REASONABLY smart, anyway.

Also, doh ... the animated armour in Taurog 3 was supposed to be a little more complex to engage, but I suppose a slightly simpler solution overall can't hurt.

Gnome 3 *was* slightly altered, but I've been rather conservative with changes on that one ... I think this particular puzzle is rather famously delicate (it has been broken more than any of the others) and in clamping down I've probably made it difficult to see what's going on. I'll try give it another revision this week, just need to put a little more thought into player expectations and how to deal with those.

... aaaand just checked, I definitely didn't make it impossible this last week. But I've already got one or two more ideas to help limit the possibility space.

Binlor 21) PISORF the druid twice, knocking him into the walls around the goo blob2) purchase the "stone form" boon3) kill the druid, sucking up the punishment4) PISORF the goo blob into a wall once, then attack him5) PISORF the goo blob into a second wall, convert PISORF, then attack6) purchase the "stone heart" boon, and finish off the goo blob

(note to devs: the exact sequence of steps 4-6 of the above solution is a bit too rigid)

Binlor 3I explicitly picked a solution that's easy to follow; this is NOT optimal if you're going for a "high score" in terms of walls remaining.note: "drink mana potions and destroy walls for piety" is implicit here as required1) purchase the "stone soup" boon2) purchase "stone form"3) purchase "stone heart" five times4) purchase "stone skin", attack Catglove5) (ensure you have 10 piety to avoid punishment) kill the druid using "stone skin" between each attack6) purchase one more hit of stone skin, then use ENDISWAL between attacks to fuel might, killing Catglove

If you followed this, you should have exactly 1 wall remaining at the end.

Dracul 31) Convert your healing potion, kill a zombie2) use blood curse, kill a second zombie using a fireball3) fireball Darth Crumpet twice, using your mana potion, then convert BURNDAYRAZ4) desecrate the glowing guardian, then pick up the pendent of health5) purchase blood hunger, kill the two zombies6) attack Darth Crumpet three times7) purchase blood tithe, pick up all the blood around the altar8) attack Crumpet again, use then use blood swell 9) attack Crumpet once more, pick up two more blood pools, then finish him

I'm still stumped on Gnome 3. At least I know the puzzle's actually solvable now. To it's credit, it did teach me that slow grants extra XP on kill. But what else am I supposed to take away from this puzzle?

I have serious doubts as to whether this is how you're supposed to do it, but it works.
